Nature and Activities in KwaZulu Natal

Drakensberg Canopy Tour

Adventure activities

Let loose with your best Tarzan aaahaaaahaaa as you join 150 bird species gliding through the canopy of the magnificent Blue Grotto Forest. Trained guides lead you between platforms perched in trees and on cliff faces as you take in the ancient forest, majestic Drakensberg, waterfalls and streams. It's loads of fun and perfectly safe for the whole family. Tours typically last 2 and a half hours.

Evan Jones

Dundee

History tours

As military historian and a Badged Member of the Guild of Battlefield Guides, Evan Jones is so enthusiastic and engaging you will feel as though you are back in the original melée as he takes you to any of 68 battle sites in the area and ignites your imagination about what took place. There is hardly a thing he doesn't know.

Four Rivers Rafting and Adventures

Adventure activities

The Fourie family have an effervescent zest for adventure and had been into canoeing and rafting for years before finally turning a hobby into a business. Aside from the river-based activities, they organise kloofing (my favourite), quad bikes, archery, zip lines (not at the same time!) and abseiling and much more....

KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board

Nature & wildlife

Sharks get pretty bad press and the NSB work hard to dispel that. Come here and learn all about these awesome fish. There are regular shark dissections too, so you can find out how they work (and smell!) inside too. Alternatively join the Sharks Board team in the early morning boat trips along Durban's waterfront, checking the shark nets that line the beaches and protect swimmers.

With other areas like Cape Town, the Garden Route and The Kruger Park already so firmly on the map, KwaZulu Natal often doesn't get as much press as it deserves - so we are going to unashamedly blow its trumpet.
